All Cryptocoryne plants can be sensitive to changes in water parameters. It is normal for the plant to experience a "cryptocoryne melt" when it is introduced to a new tank or if the water conditions undergo significant changes (such as lighting intensity, pH, GH, KW, irregular water change, poor water quality, changing plant location, temperature, and fertiliser dosing). Established plants can suffer from melting as well. In that case, we advise pruning the leaves as they melt. This will help plants focus more on producing new leaves rather than struggling to keep the old ones. Don't be alarmed if this happens. Your plant will begin to grow back within a month or sooner, depending on the conditions. No pests, no worms, no snails. The picture is for illustrative purposes only - the actual plant may vary in colour and size, especially in winter when growth slows down. While we strive to provide the largest plants possible, their size is sometimes beyond our control. The plant’s colour depends on the fertilisers used during cultivation. Once placed in an aquarium, it will naturally adapt and develop its true appearance. You will receive a plant similar to the one in the photo (without a pot or cup). The listed size represents the plant’s potential growth in an aquarium, helping buyers determine its ideal placement. The plants you receive come from greenhouses or in-vitro laboratories, meaning some may be smaller or larger than the final listed size. Please note that some plants may arrive without roots or with minimal root development. However, once planted in the aquarium, they will begin growing new roots within a few days.
